Excellent descriptions throughout this chapter. I could feel Spike's impotent rage at the magician and the entire kidnapping scenario. Maclin's motives are still unclear, and you're doing a good job keeping the story moving.
Author's Response: Thank you! Hopefully the next chapter will clear up some of your questions.

Author's Response: "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday..."
I couldn't let them ride off into the sunset without a little finale kidnapping and violence. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Yikes! Talk about a cliffhanger!
I like the contrast between Spike and Dawn's emotional states and interations before and after their capture by the bad guys; very effective. I got a real sense of Spike's rage. The link with Meret is used to good effect here too; great way to give us the information.
And Dawn and Spike decorating the tree while watching Rudolph is just plain cute!
Author's Response: Hmm. Empathic characters do help when you decide to write from a single character's P.O.V... I'm such a cheater! Thanks for reviewing!

I was able to read two chapters at once, and they are both wonderful. This one is very exciting and full of tension, and the previous one is a lovely progression showing us Spike beginning to belong and ultimately feeling happy. Loved the idea of Merit napping on Buffy's pillow.
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope I'm not giving anyone whiplash with the plot.

Drat... the one time I'm right about something, and I really, really wish I wasn't.
This Maclin is a tricky piece of work, isn't he. He knows too much and much seems to have been premeditated. Hopefully the cavalry will have him hoist by his own petard... soon. They must. He's far to confident. Spike deserves a break. You know it makes sense, pet.
*Eep... more of that 'Dum, de dum dum dummmmm' music*
Author's Response: Um, "break," yeah... I'm getting there. ;-) And don't worry. Maclin gets what's coming to him. Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, the actions really ramping up!
Love Meret's thought "We come" - she's really pissed. From the images she sent, Willow did the spell to prevent a spell on Meret. Hoping the coven really helped her for the short time she was there.
Can't wait for Buffy to get to see her gift from Spike.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

First a Happy New Year to you too!
Hehe.. Spike and Dawn fighting were fun :) *sigh* Not any longer: They got captured! Maclin was it, the one Spike won the egg from. I wonder how he did it, 'give' the egg to Spike. And what he's planning now! I hope you can update soon again. Take care!
Author's Response: Thank you! I should be posting pretty regularly from here to the end of the story.

Love your story! Please write more soon!
Author's Response: I am. Thanks!

Waiting to see what this "pet project" is all about..
Author's Response: I hope I won't disappoint. Thanks for reviewing!

Ah, the plot thickens. . No doubt the scoobies are all working hard on getting to both of the captives. Can't wait to see what hapens next
Author's Response: Thanks! I just hope you guys don't stone me when you read the next chapter.
